Frame broke loose in 7 spots once a week I was patching then I would find a new spot but now from is to soft to even put a jack under it to get the spare tire on I finally had to retire it. But this truck only has 81000 on it.

Nothing happened to me yet. But I've been reading reports of this frame rust the same way in other trucks. I think there's integrity issue with the frame nissan made. The rest of my truck is flawless no body rust. Was there a recall put out I just haven't heard of it? I just want to report it to make sure that nissan might be aware of the problem.

The structural frame of the truck is rotting out in varying degrees throughout the truck. Creates a safety issue if in a vehicle accident the structural integrity of the truck may fail and cause a great deal of injury to the occupants of the vehicle. The rotting was not noticed (although it was frequently checked for) until the frame literally cracked open while it was sitting in the garage.

1994 nissan pickup, rusted frame. Unsafe to drive but have no choice need to get to work. Nissan should be made to buy these vehicles back at a reasonable price. Toyota bought back there trucks with rotted frames. Hopefully I don't get hurt or moreso an innocent driver.
